Subject: Speller on the Pine 3.95q

By mistake, I inserted a word (tesst) into the private dictionary.
	But I cannot find a way to remove it.  Every-time the word is
misspelled, the Speller does not flag it.

The speller on this new version of Pine does not make any sense
when one is replying to a message.
	When replying to a message and requesting that the sender's
message be included, the Speller checks the spelling of both the original
message and the reply.  The old version checked only the reply.  It would
make a whole lot more sense for someone to check their own spelling.  But
it does not make any sense to check the quoted message also.
	Can this be fixed?  Or how can I change that?

Well, yes - depending on the available commands.

The editor VIM allows to lookup words from dictionaries (word files).
You set the variable "dict" to a list of such files, and in insert mode
Just type ^X^K (control-x control-k) after typing a word and VIM will check
all dictionaries (as defined by variable "dictionary") for possible matches.
VIM will then show you how many matches it found:

	"There are 123 matching words"

Then you can cycle through the matches using ^N or ^P
to get the next or previous match, respectively.

Example setting for the variable dictionary:
set dictionary=/usr/dict/words,/local/lib/german.words

With VIM you can select a rectangle area, copy (or delete) it
and also paste it in as a rectangle area, too.

Example:

                s one of the main reason
                alternate editor (and th
                t handle rectangle comma

I don't use this often - but I sure use it.  :-)
